Dana White extremely ‘impressed’ by the rise of BKB as David Tetreault gives fascinating insight into the conversation he shared with the UFC President

Dana White had a lot of interesting things to say to David Tetreault about BKB.

The promotion, which is making waves around the globe, returns this evening with a major event, headlined by Lee Selby and Ollie Sentance inside the Indigo at the O2 in London, UK.

BKB has caught the attention of Dana White

On September 12, David Tetreault attended Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

During his time at the show, the BKB CEO had an opportunity to chat with Dana White, with Tetreault now revealing the fascinating details of their conversation.

WOW: ‘I’d destroy him’… Amado Fernando Vargas opens up about potential rematch with Deen the Great in BKB

During a BKB 61 media scrum, he told Sporf: “I was congratulating Dana on what a great job he’d done with the fight. The place was packed, and the anticipation for the main event was incredible. We talked about where we are with bare-knuckle. He said he has a high level of awareness of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. He’s very impressed.

“I have a long-standing and deep relationship with Nick Khan, who is his sidekick at WWE within that TKO banner. There are things we’re looking at that could position BKB in a really good spot at the right moment with TKO. There are a lot of things we still have to do to get to that place, but we’re on their radar for sure.”

BKB is closing in on signing Gabe Rosado

With the likes of Selby, Victor Ortiz and Paulie Malignaggi already on the BKB roster, the organisation is going above and beyond to sign the fighters the fans want to see battle it out inside the Trigon. And with that in mind, Tetreault is doing his utmost to secure the signature of a very popular former world title challenger.

The combat sports aficionado explained: “We’re working with Gabe Rosado right now. He’s going through our contract. We were looking to bring him in on the December 5 card, but the timing wasn’t right with him. But we hope to wrap up that business with him and have him sign most likely before Christmas, and if that’s the case, he’ll most likely be on that Miami card that we’re putting together in February.”
